Before Use - Hilti TE 60 Original Operating Instructions

5.3.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice
to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both hands
remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
5.3.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that
no concealed electric cables or gas and water
pipes are present. External metal parts of the
power tool may become live, for example, when
an electric cable is damaged accidentally. This
presents a serious risk of electric shock.
b) Check the power tool's supply cord at regular
intervals and have it replaced by a qualified
specialist if found to be damaged. If the power
tool's supply cord is damaged it must be re-
placed with a specially-prepared supply cord
available from Hilti Customer Service. Check
extension cords at regular intervals and replace
them if found to be damaged. Do not touch the
supply cord or extension cord if it is damaged
while working. Disconnect the supply cord plug
from the power outlet. Damaged supply cords or
extension cords present a risk of electric shock.
c) Dirty or dusty power tools which have been
used frequently for work on conductive mater-
ials should be checked at regular intervals at

a Hilti Service Center. Under unfavorable cir-
cumstances, dampness or dust adhering to the
surface of the power tool, especially dust from
conductive materials, may present a risk of elec-
tric shock.
d) When working outdoors with an electric tool
check to ensure that the tool is connected to the
electric supply by way of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (RCD) with a rating of max. 30 mA
(tripping current). Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock.
e) Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (RCD re-
sidual current device) with a maximum tripping
current of 30 mA is recommended.
5.3.4 Work area
a) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Exposure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace
may result in damage to the health.
b) If the work involves breaking right through, take
the appropriate safety measures at the opposite
side. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or
fall down and injure other persons.
5.3.5 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear pro-
tection, protective gloves and breathing protection
while the tool is in use.
3. Slide the side handle clamping band over the
chuck and onto the cylindrical section at the
front end of the power tool.
4. Pivot the side handle into the desired position.
5. CAUTION Check that the clamping band is en-
gaged in the groove provided on the power
tool.
Secure the side handle by turning the grip clock-
wise.
